This is a picture that I, me, would never try to correct. It is that good. If it were any sharper it wouldn't look right at all....it looks just as we would see it in natural..The colours are superbly golden, orangish , almost reddish and pinkish and all that...but they work well together...A fine portrait Luis. Very nice post!

Hello Luis,

This is a wonderful composition, I love the warm soft glow of the OOF background, the shadows across her plumage, the twinkle in her eye, I'm sure the Red Vermilion male will turn up soon, excellent shot well done.

Cheers Rick :)

Nice warm tones Luis. The composition is good with just the branch and soft DOF.

Hi Luis

A beautiful shot - I love the colours for a start - plus excellent detail in the Flycatcher - good isolation and eye contact. A skillful shot.

Bellissima immagine, eccellenti POV e DOF, molto bella la composizione con la scena aperta da questo esile rametto e la posa quasi verticale dell'uccellino, ottima nitidezza e bellissimi i dettagli del becco e dell'occhio, magnifici i colori dalle tonalità calde e BG. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hi Cousin,

Beautiful picture of this Vermilion with the wonderful golden tones. She is posing so sweetly for you. Lovely details of the face, wings and plummage. She should be able to attract the male and you will get your shot of him.

Hi Jose,

Great capture mf,

Fantastic!!!!!
That BG is amazing!
Perfectly sharp with very fine detail.
Gorgeous colours and warm light.
Brilliant DOF that has rendered the BG completely blurred.
You are an excellent photographer, Luis, and this proves it!

Hello Luis,
A beauty she is sitting so gracefully in studio like shot for you.
Wonderfully captured creating the loneliness mood. I like the bit of shadown falling on her as sun changes its stance and the BG is superb complimenting the overal mood.
TFS & Cheers

Hola Luis, una bonita fotografia, con una composición acertada, nitida y con buenos colores, la luz muy buena y el fondo perfecto. Un saludo

Hola Luis, This is a most unusual image with the beautiful warm BG. The bird is wonderfully posed with sharp detail and very pleasing light. Super eye contact and catchlight and nicely composed as well. Fine work. Tfs Richard
